The distant gardens of Mim bring a first flush oolong that is fragrantly sweet, full-bodied and brisk. Sip a cup of this classic and you’ll find vibrant notes of ripe fruits and raw mangoes humming throughout. At the start soft floral flavors can be discerned which give way to more fruity vibes. The liquor is inlaid with a slight woodiness which lends it an earthy character and rounds up the notes of sweet greens beautifully. A milky smooth aftertaste lingers that gives the cup a lively finish.

The liquor is aromatic, full-bodied, brisk and starts out with soft floral intonations which subside to reveal vibrant notes of sweet, pulpy fruits similar to cantaloupe and muskmelon; which reverberates throughout the length of the cup. Intermittently, slight woody undercurrents coupled with subtle notes of sweet greens can be perceived around the edges; adding a layer of depth to the liquor. A delicate milky sweetness can be picked up in the aftertaste; making for an invigorating finish.
